Anagram contest

[Bert Bates]

I just made this up:

"Willing to do almost anything to get clean, the shower whores sold rustic citrus."

Bonus points for two or more anagrams in a sentence:

4 letter anagrams are acceptable, but lame
5 letters okay,
6 letters earn bonus points, and
7 letters or more earn triple bonus points.

No fair using automated anagram generators - think these up by yourselves ranchers!

I'm working on this, but I still have 6 letters left over.

Why is such an engrossing world tattoo artist collecting wool detritus?

This leaves letters e, e, h, h, l, and m (which could form words "he" and "helm").

Is this what you had in mind? Or am I over-scrambling?

[Bert Bates]

oops - i guess my instructions pretty much sucked - sorry Marc!

I didn't mean to make the whole sentence an anagram, I just had a couple of sets of anagrammed words in the sentence...

But I suppose we could try to anagram the whole darned thing... hmmm... I'd say your way would earn even more bonus points

I pretty much interpreted the same thing, and got nowhere. Using all the letters to form another sentence is much much much harder than using 7 letters from the sentence to form anagram word... ... which actually, is incredibly easy. A litte too easy. Or are you referring to anagrams of the words in the sentence?

I claim jetlag as the reason for my lack of communication skills

Okay, I just found a couple sets of single word anagrams and threw them into a sentence. So the puzzle is really just about finding single word anagrams. Hence the discussion of how finding a 4 letter anagram is less interesting than finding anagrams in longer words.

Okay,

Triple extra master points if you can anagram the whole sentence AND include new pair(s) of anagrammed words within the anagrammed sentence.

Including the correct number of spaces and punctuation?

I saw a GANDER in a GARDEN that had a DANGER sign whose messages RANGED from smallest to biggest.

That was one bad sentence. lol

ewwwwww! I like it! A rare "quad"

Although a little lame, I offer in response:

To recap, we had a caper with a pacer.
